'''Choppahs'''<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=26|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear as green beetle-like creatures that lack legs. Each Choppah has an orange spiked helmet and has a propeller around it, giving the enemy the ability to fly. Its name is a corruption of "chopper," an alternate term for "helicopter," referring to the enemy's propeller. Choppahs fly in a vertical straight line in most [[Galaxy|galaxies]]. Choppahs first appear in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]] as the main obstacles. These enemies later appear in the [[Sweet Mystery Galaxy]] (where they are only seen flying horizontally), [[Honeyhop Galaxy]], and [[Flip-Out Galaxy]], as well as during the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]'s mission [[The Perfect Run]]. These enemies can be defeated only by being eaten by [[Yoshi]] and release three [[Star Bit]]s upon being eaten. Most of the time, Choppahs appear when the player must traverse through a 2D pathway. They are less common when the pathway is 3D, mostly appearing when the platforms are narrow or have less ground. When shot by a Star Bit from the [[Star Pointer]], Choppahs get stunned in place for a short moment.
